Accessibility

The Town of Renfrew implemented a new five-year accessibility plan in 2013. The plan includes a phased-in strategy to prevent and remove barriers as well as provide training for pertinent employees and volunteers, all of which will meet or exceed the requirements of Ontario’s Accessibility Standards.

According to the plan, the barriers to be addressed in 2014 are as follows:

Continual discussions with all Departments concerning accessibility issues or concerns

As the plan progresses through 2017, some of the main places slotted for upgrades are as follows:

Ma-Te-Way Activity Centre

The Recreation Centre at 67 Argyle Street South

Various parks and playgrounds

Various streets, sidewalks and intersections

Renfrew Town Hall

Renfrew Public Library

Municipal Services

The Post Office Building at 249 Raglan Street South

At the conclusion of the five-year plan all steps will be reviewed and a new five-year plan will be implemented. Renfrew’s long-term goal is to make the town as accessible as possible for residents and tourists alike.
